As horde I found a rather easy way of farming coins solo (this applies only for ranged classes). Just stand behind the rocks in the water near the flight master and kill people who arrive on the island. Since it takes a while to get there I found that many people are AFK when going there, so they don't put up much of a fight. If you are a class with water walking it makes it even easier to escape if you get attacked. You can also use Cursed Swabby Helmet for 200% swim speed for an even easier escape.

By using this method I've farmed around 250 coins without spending much time at all.

If things were easy to obtain, it wouldn't have much joy in accomplishing them. Also, you would see everybody with the title or achievement which further diminishes the value of it. Something like obtaining 10k bloody coins was insane, but Blizzard saw that and nuked it to 2k instead. Granted the vendor has nothing to offer for 2k total coins since everything he offers adds up less then 1k.

My tactic is that I wait until people are telling general chat where Evermaw is, and I use my [Cursed Swabby Helmet] and swim under Evermaw picking people off one by one until there's maybe a handful of people left at which point they're wondering where everyone went but by then it's too late for them and they're already bloody coins for me. I get anywhere from 30-50 bloody coins per Evermaw.

Thats.. actually really smart
Some of you people have gotten really great strats. well done

If everyone got it straight away, people would class it 'welfare' or w/e.

I thought the same as you at first. But after running around on the isle with the debuff for over 3 hours killing people. And still have gotten ONE freaking coin. I know it is hard to get the last hit but atleast 10 of my kills has been solo kills.

I've been running around with a mage and shaman friend in my guild lighting people up. My favorite tactic is running in on a rare spawn and tagging it of course then dotting everyone there. Esp on ones like the big beer elemental where people take a lot of aoe dmg I get like 4-5 killing blows just from dots. It's wonderful.

Still way too much since its kbs and not hks. Should be hks and 2k coins.

Heaven forbid you have to work for something now. The second a change comes to make it say HKs, you''ll cry to many people have it or just throw the mount in your spell book and never use it. Don't like it? Don't want to get it like I or others did? Then skip it and move on, not a required item to play the game.

Always jealous of ranged classes because you can do stuff like this.
My poor warrior generally needs a pocket healer on Mal'ganis after the first few kills since people just start hunting me down.

I've started grabbing some friends when Dread Ship spawns and we just AoE the hell out of them and I BB/BS once most folks are around 50% hoping for the bleeds to finish them off. Usually works for a chunk before I get nuked down by a few people.

I've always been an avid achievement hunter, but this one kinda pains me.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good grind, but the amount of rage you get from certain victims is migraine-inducing.

My main is a rogue, so I've got a pretty huge advantage in farming coins. I just stealth up, lurk around until I find a victim (usually someone with poor gear and/or low on HP from mobs), cheap shot, killing spree, then vanish before anyone notices I was around. In my first hour I managed to farm up 15 coins, and that was without some of the brilliant strats some of you have posted. Kinda slow, but I can deal. However, I just can't deal with the amount of qq I attract.

First of all, I'm on US-Illidan. Full of people, which can be seen as a good thing (lots of targets to farm), but people hunt you down quickly. The worst thing though is the amount of people that take it SO personal that you killed them. In my 15 kills in one hour, I had four people cry to me. Two of them /ignored me before I could even explain that it was nothing personal and I was just achievement hunting. One just kept calling me a baddie and ignored me even though I tried to be as polite as possible.

The fourth.. lol. I never even killed the guy. He was a decently geared pally that I thought was afk. I tried to gank him, but he bubbled before I got him down. I vanished and ran off before help arrived (on Illidan there's always people near, gotta be quick or you'll get steamrolled) and he just spammed me with "fuck you baddie" over and over. He too ignored me before I could respond. The part that irks me is that he'll unignore me for just a moment to spam it some more, then ignore again. I logged over to an alt to talk to him, and he just did the same thing. I ignored his main, and now when he's on an alt he'll spam me some more. This has been going on for like four days, lol.

I want to complete the achievement, but Jesus Christ. Not if every coin comes from ragebabies like that.

I know some of you probably take pleasure in that kind of thing, but to me it just hurts my head. Anyone feel the same?
